Simple Death Chest

Modrinth

If it's not clear enough by the title, it stores the player's items once they die in a chest :) And... that's it (basically a Grave)

About

SimpleDeathChest

Simple, Efficient, and hopefully reliable way to safekeep player's items after their death.

How does it work?

  1. When a player dies, a chest is created in their place.
  2. All of their items are deposited into the chest.
  3. That's it!

Some interesting features:

  • All items fit in the chest!
    • As there's an special inventory fitting the total number of items, no items will be lost!
  • No chest farming over here...
    • Death chests are not dropped when broken
  • Hold up, is it empty?
    • A death chest cannot be broken unless it's empty
  • Shouldn't the spawn protection be safe?
    • If you die on the spawn protection (skill issue) your chest will be placed outside the area spawn-protected so you can access the chest ;)
  • Am I too far down?
    • If for some reason a player dies below the world y-limit downwards the chest will spawn on the lowest layer before the void
  • Hold on... where's my chest??????
    • /deathchest list will allow you to see all your chests' coordinates in the world ;)
  • Configurability: Not everyone wants the same features in their server, so...
    • explosion_proof - Maybe you prefer the chest being prone to explosions
    • player_breakable - Can players break a deathchest?
    • items_drop_when_broken - will items drop when a chest is broken? (by a player)
    • items_drop_when_exploded - Uhh... isn't it clear? (wheather items will drop when a chest is exploded)
    • name_on_chest - do you want the chest to display who's its creator?
  • WAIT does this work with...? Yes, it does ;)

And Translations have arrived :)

  • Maybe your server's players don't speak english, so you'd want them to be able to understand some information, right?
  • Therefore in the configuration as for version 1.5.2 the setting general.language has become available
  • You just put one of the "currently available" language codes in the field and you're set :)
  • Currently available languages:
    • Español (Spanish) "es"
    • English (uhhh...) "en"
    • Nederlands (Dutch) "nl"
    • Deutsch (German - Germany) "de"

Usage:

Don't worry, it's simple.

Place the .jar file installed in the plugins folder inside your Minecraft server's plugins folder, and start it up!

Now, if everything went well, you should get a the following messages:

[HH:MM:SS INFO]: [DeathChest] Enabling DeathChest v(plugin version)
[HH:MM:SS INFO]: [DeathChest] Death Chest restore complete
[HH:MM:SS INFO]: [DeathChest] I might be working

And once you stop the server...

[HH:MM:SS INFO]: [DeathChest] Disabling DeathChest v(plugin version)
[HH:MM:SS WARN]: [DeathChest] I'm def NOT working rn

if you want to configure something, check in your plugins folder for a folder called DeathChest, then config.yml is where you can change the settings ;)

Just a friendly reminder...

I'm lazy, very much. I've found bugs I CANNOT fathom why they exist, please go to the Issues and report ANY problem you have. Though, most importantly: MAYBE the plugin has only been tested on 26.1.2 and 1.21.8 bc I can't be bothered to test it through all versions so... You might be the first one to try the plugin on a minecraft version :D

AI usage:

I'm not directly opposed to the usage of AI in the world, yet human creativity is something I deeply love.
Aside from the initial versions of the plugin (pre 1.0 versions, unreleased) there has only been usage of AI for finding the things I needed in the endless abyss JavaDocs are (If you saw some slander of Geyser, I take it back, I was in the wrong, it's a beautiful plugin). I hope if you're interested in contributing in any way you do it without blatant usage of AI.
